Vets ride free on Metro and Sound Transit to ninth annual Seattle Stand Down
Wednesday, December 11, 2019
Veterans heading to the ninth annual Seattle Stand Down event on December 12-13 can ride free on King County Metro and Sound Transit buses, light rail, and Sounder trains.
The Seattle Stand Down event connects veterans, service members, and their families who are experiencing homelessness with local resources and services, will be hosted at South Seattle College’s Georgetown campus, 6737 Corson Ave S, Seattle.
It’s a one-stop shop for veterans to receive housing assistance, case management referrals and employment opportunities.
Veterans can access legal aid, medical screenings, eye exams, dental services, haircuts, personal hygiene items, veterinarian care, and meals – all coordinated through representatives from businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions, and all levels of government are brought together at one location to provide services.
Representatives from ORCA LIFT, the reduced-fare transit card, and ORCA to Go, which provides information and sales of regular-fare ORCA cards, will be on-site both days.
Veterans traveling to or from the two-day event can ride free by showing one of the following forms of ID:
Metro bus routes that travel to or near the campus include routes 60, 124, 131, 132, 107 and 154. Route 154 is peak-only service.
